“Ultimately, the idea isn’t to go from identification with form to identification with formlessness. It’s not about going from a somebody to a nobody. You can’t define the truth as something, or as nothing. You can’t ultimately define it as spirit or as matter. You can’t define it as ego or other than ego. Our ultimate nature can’t be described in dualistic terms at all. To our minds, it will always remain a mystery, because the process of thought that we use to apprehend things can only think in dualistic terms. So our minds can never really know reality directly.”

“Ideologies are collective forms of hubris that claims to know how the world works and what needs to be changed. In a sense they are like ontological packages that makes you intellectually lazy. It’s not merely a reality tunnel, it’s a reality tunnel that knows it avoids certain issues. So you don’t hear of communists discussing the possible existence of God or capitalists who are critical towards growth.

The left will romanticize some sort of future where equality is abundant, (but have no real good examples of how this is to be achieved.. )
The right will romanticize the past saying that people were more decent back in the good old days. Dig deep enough and the “conservatives” won’t agree on what they want to conserve, and the progressive won’t agree on what they want to change or to what extent. And when it comes to all this ethnic idenitity moaning, no one knows what a true scotsman is either. This “feeling” of being something is an aneristic illusion.
When it comes to social issues, more time is spent competing between the ideologies then actually analyzing the problems at hand. It’s sort of like religion blaming Satan/Scheitan, but in this case the devil is the political other’s ideology. Well, Monotheism didn’t save the world from evil since I got drunk with Devil yesterday, and the political fluff ain’t gonna solve it either. This is why academic discussion (esp economists vs sociologists) is so pathetically stagnant. The real thing that pushes reality forward is the chaotic clash that lurks between the bullshit of ideologies.”

“Discordianism laid the groundwork for Chaos Magick, and Ontological Anarchism in particular. It did this by shifting the ontological foundations of anarchism to an esoteric reading of Chaos, whereupon liberation could no longer be con-ceived of in terms of material gains won from the oppressor class, but in the freedom to (re)create reality.”

“Half a generation ago, The Matrix (a movie that seems campy today) updated one of the oldest philosophical allegories for the digital age. The Garden of Eden and Plato’s Cave gave way to the red pill/blue pill metaphor for a consciousness-awakening moment. In the real world though, there are no blue pills. We do not possess an un-knowing technology that allows us to return to a lost state of innocence. There is, however, something much better we can call a grey pill. While both the meatspace world and online world can provoke red pill moments, only the Internet can reliably supply grey pills. Here’s a quick introduction to grey pills in general, and the Internet as one big grey pill (or more precisely, a self-medication pharmacy of grey pills of all sizes).”

“Belief looks for its cause in perception, identity, and reality, but in doing so it dictates and distorts them. Imagination emancipates belief from itself, and then liberates perception, identity, and reality to do the same.

We no longer separate and distinguish between our wishes and efforts to know, express, distort, confuse, or illuminate. We can do all or none of these things as we wish because belief-free is FREE.”
